United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

That's not a very high proportion that was coming from Russia even before the invasion.
Maybe demand for Norwegian gas has increased due to other countries that did import a lot from Russia wanting to import from Norway, and that'd have an indirect effect on the UK, depending upon the contractual situation with Norway.
I mean, Bangladesh was not, as far as I know, getting natural gas from Russia at all, but when the European energy crisis happened, they promptly got priced out of the market and had blackouts.

This is what I meant.
We is not exclusively the UK, but if other countries are then we (the UK) are indirectly reliant on it not causing everyone else to come for our gas.
We gave away our North Sea resources, and now we are subject to the global market which includes Russia.
